INTRODUCTION------------Congratulations! You have just gotten a copy of the most incrediblescreensaver you will ever see! It would be difficult to describe Timelessin a document such as this, it must be experienced to be believed! But becareful, some people have been known to watch this screensaver's displayfor hours on end!

Included in this archive is the TRIAL version of Timeless for Windows. Thisversion will give you short sampling of its capabilities, but it willeventually blank out completely in about four minutes. The registered FULLversion will run continuously until you interrupt it by hitting thekeyboard or moving the mouse. The TRIAL version should give you a good ideaof the incredible graphics that Timeless can generate

Timeless for Windows was originally written as a commercial software andwas going to be sold in stores. However, because Timeless is an extremelycomplex software, we cannot guarantee that it will run on every singlesystem. Timeless will only run on 100% compatible (register) VGA videocards because of the complex video routines that it uses. We feel thatshareware is a great way to distribute this product since you can have theopportunity to make sure it works on your system before purchasing it.Needless to say, Timeless should run on the majority of systems with noproblems.

HISTORY-------Timeless has been completely produced, coded, and designed by anexperienced programmer in the demo and game world - Thomas Pytel, alsoknown as Tran. His other work includes such productions as the hit games:Zone 66, and Kaeon, and the highly rated demos: Amnesia and Hell. Tran isalso known by assembly language programmers for his advanced 32 bitprotected mode interface library. In addition, he is the author ofComposer 669 which was the first eight channel composing softwareavailable for the IBM PC, and CDFM which for the first time combined FMand digital sound with tracked music. Tran is also an experienced graphicsartist and musician. Needless to say, Timeless for Windows is reallysomething special!

Timeless was originally designed as a demo designed to show people justwhat kind of things were possible to do with a PC. Timeless received anoverwhelming response from people who loved its "surrealistic" feel.People also commented on how they wished there was a screensaver such asthis. After some time, the program was modified and additions were made toit so that it could be run as a Windows screensaver. In addition, Timelesshas improved a lot since that time with new graphics and new operatingmodes so that it is even more impressive than the original!

REQUIREMENTS------------Timeless requires the following to operate correctly:

1. A 386 or faster computer.2. Windows 3.1 (you may also execute it from DOS).3. A 100% register compatible VGA video card.

1. Unzip the Timeless archive into a temporary directory somewhere on your harddrive. I suggest unzipping it to "C:\TEMP\".

There are a couple of things that you will want to avoid when unzipping Timeless:

1. Do *not* unzip it into the Windows directory. 2. Do *not* unzip it into \WINDOWS\TIMELESS\ since this is the directory that Timeless will create automatically when its install program executes.

2. Next (you should be in Windows), go into the PROGRAM MANAGER and choose RUN from the FILE menu.

It will prompt you which program to execute, you will want to type in the directory that you just unzipped Timeless into followed by the program INSTALL.EXE. As an example, lets say that you unzipped Timeless to "C:\TEMP\", you would type:

C:\TEMP\INSTALL.EXE

After you have typed that in, click on OK.

3. You should now get a prompt from the Timeless install program. It should be prompting you where you want to install Timeless to. I suggest using the default directory that is already displayed there, but you may specify a different directory if you want to.

After you have decided on the directory to install to, click on CONTINUE.

Timeless Install should now display that it is copying files.

4. After Timeless has installed, it will show you this documentation file. You may want to read through it if you missed anything from before.

5. Next, go to CONTROL PANEL, and then to DESKTOP.

Once you are there, click on SCREENSAVER and highlight Timeless. Now Timeless is your default screensaver.

You may want to modify the way that Timeless works, so click on SETUP. I would suggest letting Timeless run with the defaults for the first time so that you can see what it does, and then later go back and modify it as you like.

Once your done, click on OK.

6. Timeless is now installed! Be prepared to witness the most incredible screensaver you will ever see!

NOTE: If you want Timeless to discontinue at the move of the mouse (like most Windows screensavers) you must have a mousedriver loaded (from DOS). Otherwise, you will have to hit a key on the keyboard to make the screensaver deactivate.

SOME IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT TIMELESS-----------------------------------Because of Timeless's complexity, it requires a 100% register compatibleVGA card to operate correctly.

Timeless is actually a DOS application. Many of the things that it doeswould just not be possible in Windows directly. What this means is that:

1. Timeless CAN be executed from DOS if you want to use it in that way.

2. Timeless is exclusive. This means that if any background Windows processes are running, Timeless will interrupt them when it executes and they will continue when Timeless discontinues.

3. Timeless must have a DOS mouse driver loaded in order to respond to mouse movement or clicks. Otherwise, you must hit a key to deactivate Timeless.

With some video cards, you may see a screen flicker when Timeless executesor when it discontinues execution. Do not worry, this is totally natural,this is just the video card switching modes and resolution.

If you want to create an icon to run Timeless from Windows, or if you justwant to run Timeless directly from Windows (not as a screensaver). Just goto the program manager "file" menu, then choose "run". You would want toexecute the file "\WINDOWS\TIMELESS\TIMELESS.PIF".
